In 2025, Porsche has given the Taycan a complete upgrade, and although the exterior design has not changed much, there have been significant improvements in mechanical performance and range. **The Taycan Turbo S has a staggering 938 horsepower, a significant improvement over the previous generation's 750 horsepower, reducing its 0-60 mph acceleration time to 2In 3 seconds, it surpassed the 918 Spyder and became the most powerful road car in Porsche's history.

This huge increase in horsepower is due to a new electric motor design, which, while the same dimensions as its predecessor, has been carefully refined internally and has significantly increased power. Depending on the model, the rear motor has increased power by up to 107 horsepower, while the overall weight has been reduced by about 20 pounds. Even the base rear-wheel drive model makes 483 hp.

While increasing the dynamics, Porsche has also focused more on efficiency and range improvements. In response to criticism of the relatively low range of the first-generation Taycan, the Taycan has adopted improved battery chemistry with a total battery capacity of 934 kWh increased to 105 kWh, with a net capacity of 986 kWh. In addition, the **battery pack is lighter than the previous generation, and the base battery offers capacity comparable to the previous generation upgrade unit.

In addition to the battery upgrades, Porsche has also enhanced the Taycan's energy regeneration capabilities, which can regenerate up to 400 kilowatts of electrical energy, a significant increase from the previous model's 290 kilowatts. At the same time, the switching threshold between regenerative braking and friction braking is also reduced from 03 g to 0497 g。New wheels and summer tires optimized for range also further increase the Taycan's driving range.

In terms of charging, the Taycan's charging speed has also been improved. **The model can consume up to 320 kW of power under ideal conditions, which is faster than the 270 kW of its predecessor. Porsche claims that it can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes, and InsideEVS tests show that the Taycan 4S prototype can even complete this process in 16 minutes.

In terms of chassis, the **Taycan has also been improved. Air suspension is standard on all US-spec Taycans, while the all-wheel drive model is available with Porsche Active Ride, a highly intelligent active suspension system.

Inside, the Taycan has undergone relatively minor changes, with a focus on upgrades to the instrument cluster and infotainment system. However, models with the Sport Chrono package have added a push-and-go button that provides additional power on demand. In addition, a leather-free upholstery option is available, and the seats** are upholstered in Porsche houndstooth pepita.

However, these upgrades also bring tweaks to the top. The entry-level 2025 Taycan is priced at $101,395, which is $8,845 more than its predecessor. The flagship Turbo S Cross Turismo is priced at $213,695, $14,695 more than its predecessor.

*Taycan is expected to be delivered in the U.S. later this summer. As for the highly anticipated GTS models and crazy versions that could break the Nürburgring record, we still have to be patient.
